This is a build that I made for PvE. Don’t know about gear for it yet because this is my first time playing a mesmer. Any suggestions on the build or what I should have for gear are welcome and I will appreciate any feedback.

I don’t quite understand the purpose of your build. It seems like you’re trying to keep 3 illusions up at all times, yet you want to shatter them, but not really.

Also, iElasticity only applies to YOUR attacks, meaning it would only affect Staff1.

Since this is a quick sketch and I don’t know what you’re trying to do, I’ll suggest this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAW8flwzaqXVTqGa9IhpHBv3IHlCs7dSKK9rB

It’s a tweak of yours and revolves around keeping 3 illusions up at all times, be they phantasms or clones. It also does not use Shatters which is nice for new Mesmers (although bad if you plan to [learn to] play them hardcore/for a long time).

Well man, right now you are a mix of direct damage and condition damage. Some of your trait choices are defensive but they aren’t enhanced by other defensive choices to complete a certain style of build. First off before finding a build you want, how do you want to do your damage? Slower, over time while being tankish or faster, bigger numbers as a glass cannon?
Torch in PVE pretty much sucks just so ya know. Focus will help you waaaayyy more.

Well I’d rather do damage over time mixed with support

@Darthsmall, You tbh the 2nd thread who ask about same question on first page atm so I kinda share a Pve/dungeon spec who work for wvwvw aswell that I made for the other player who asked.

I suggest try play with a 0-20-20-0-30 spec, gear with rabid stats (toughness, preci and condition dmg). This spec work well if you want to test some wvwvw later on and its rather tought to kill so you wont be squishy.

I had some time over so I made a spec that synergice with combo fields and have condition dmg as its core.

My suggestion of a spec for you:

This seems like a cool build! Yeah this was my first build so I put the traits in a little randomly. Is this build just for PvE and if so is it good for dungeons? Also have you got any strategies for this build? Thanks, sorry about the question, new mesmer here :P

@Darthsmall, For the build I linked, use the shatters when energy getting high to apply confusion + gain might, insta recreate the clones to keep condition apply. Use glamour fields to keep chaos armour up when needed and place your focus phantasm in the fields aswell.
